YMCA of Metropolitan Chattanooga
Each year the YMCA serves meals to at-risk youth throughout our service areas. Last year, 555,000 healthy meals were prepared and served across 80 sites in Chattanooga, Cleveland and North Georgia Along with our staff team, we depend on volunteers to make this impact possible for so many youth. You can volunteer to help prepare healthy meals for youth at our Food and Fun Kitchen. Volunteerism is the foundation of the YMCA movement and meets our commitment to social responsibility. Our program supports healthy living by serving healthy meals and youth development through our CATCH Curriculum for physical activity and nutrition.
